I guess most people are wondering why is it always important
to maintain that weight that is considered normal. Much as it is a society
demand mainly for girls to be thin, there is more than reason one should not be
overweight. Other than society demands, in this article I will try to explore
the reasons why someone should not be fat.
Difficulty in breathing
This is brought about by the fact that excess fat restricts
the expansion of the rib cage leaving less space for the diaphragm to move
downwards. Furthermore, the Lungs also store fat which reduces exchange of
oxygen.
Difficulty in walking
You are probably wondering why overweight people often seem
to be reluctant at walking. This is due to the fact that the extra weight
contributes to the breakdown of hips, knees and feet. This sounds strange,
right. The explanation is that extra fats contribute to the degeneration of
cartilage in the joints.
Heart diseases
Extra fat puts pressure on mainly he heart and the lungs.
The accumulation of fat in blood vessels lead to their blockage. In this way,
the path of blood is narrowed however the heart still beats at the same rate.
Thus there is an increased pressure which may lead to stroke, high blood
pressure, and many other heart diseases.
Back pain
This is due to the fact that extra weight stresses the back
by limiting the amount of fluid that could have been necessary for pain free
movement.
Depression
This is widely due to the society pressure and the belief
that small is beautiful. Depression may also come about by the person’s
discomfort, a feeling of not being attractive, and being socially isolated.
Hard to find clothing.
This is mainly due to the expansion of the waist line which
is so hard to determine by most designers of clothes. Thus the end result is
that they make either extremely large sized clothes to support every waist line
and this may not look so fit for various people.
Difficulty in finding a mate
If you are an oversized person, the only thing that could
save you is if you have the pretty face. However some societies are so rigid, a
pretty face is left hanging just because of overweight.
Perspiration and body odour
The folds in the skin decrease air flow and cause
perspiration which leads to body odour. Also the body odour is due to the fact
that fat people tend to have reduced energy levels and depression.
